El Borracho Ballard

This place was literally my favorite spot in Ballard until they went full plant based. I’m happy to eat plant based, but their current offering is gross. I’m just waiting for them to inevitably go out of business in hopes of a better restaurant/bar moving into their spot.

I, like many people months ago, went in remembering their delicious food and was not aware they had gone fully vegan. It tasted like food you’d make at home served in compostable plates with compostable forks. Self-serve sauces and water. The vibe is just completely different now. Please note that the last 43 reviews since their change equates to a 3.67-star review. Their seemingly decent rating is riding on the back of their former success. Extra star for the friendly bartender and great margarita.

Real dang good vegetarian burrito with a super flavorful red Chipotle sauce add on, and guacamole 👌I could drink that red sauce like a SOUP, it's so good. Very cozy date night vibes, and the margaritas and loaded nachos looked good but didn't try any tonight. Also loved their cool wall mural and the help yourself sauce fridge with 3 different awesome sauces. I will say that by volume the bowls are way smaller than a burrito so be aware of that if you're feeling pretty like my bf was.

Pretty groovy little spot! It’s nice and cozy inside with a cool bar area. Menu is completely vegan. I didn’t like that you have to order through a QR code, it didn’t feel very personal and none of their silverware/cups/plates are reusable (at least when you sit outside). Overall a pleasant experience.
